Congress needs to hurry up and codify abortion as a federal right because pregnant women are “a real issue,” as far as Vice President Kamala Harris is concerned.
Ms. Harris drew double-takes for an interview Sunday in which she urged Congress to take quick action on abortion legislation in reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision last month in Dobbs v. Jackson overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
“Listen, women are getting pregnant every day in America, and this is a real issue,” she told left-wing podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen.
Ms. Harris continued: “And we need to act with a sense of haste about what is at play, what is at stake, and codifying Roe will be an important moment in terms of putting back in place protections the folks who are at risk right now because of what the court did in Dobbs just weeks ago.
